About the Game

The year is 5026. You have no name, no rights, and no choice. Assigned to the Empire's mining complex, your sentence is the ABYSS-9 expedition. Your mission: pilot an "iron coffin" into the crushing depths of the abyssal wall. At the bottom of the ocean, silence is your only companion... until something starts knocking on the hull.

SURVIVE YOUR SHIFT

In the abyss, negligence is a death sentence. Manage your capsule's vital systems while mining the resources required by the Empire. Not everyone makes it back for a second day of work. Will you be next?

  • CRITICAL POWER MANAGEMENT: Monitor the reactor constantly. If it overheats, you explode. If it dies out, the darkness of the abyss consumes you.

  • OXYGEN AND HEAT SYSTEMS: Oxygen is a finite luxury, and the cold of the depths is relentless. Keep the boiler lit or become a frozen corpse before even hitting your quota.

  • HIGH-RISK MINING: Ore is the foundation of everything. Extract resources to keep your capsule operating and meet your daily quota. In the Empire, those who don't produce, don't live.

THE ABYSS IS ALIVE

You are not alone in these forgotten waters. Uncharted abyssal creatures surround your capsule. Some are merely curious... others are hungry for fresh meat.

  • COMBAT AND EVASION: Find the best way to deal with what dwells in the pitch black. Use the capsule's resources to defend yourself or learn to stay in absolute silence.

BEYOND THE WALL

They say the abyss is not the end of the journey. Rumors among the miners speak of ancient secrets hidden where the pressure should crush any form of life. What is the secret that dwells at the end of the abyss?
